But let me tell my colleagues what is worse: In the Federal penitentiaries in Oklahoma. Reno. in what is supposed to be the minimum security of Seagoville in Texas. we have 1.000 of those right now. but not in minimum security but in maximum environment. with no right to counsel. charged with no offense other than they have entered the country illegally and have been apprehended. We also amended the law in that respect and made it clear to the administrative officials. whether the Justice Department or any other department. that it is the congressional will. desire. and intent that any illegal charged only with the act of illegal entry be immediately deported. The escape hatch here is that they are supposed to be needed as material witnesses. In the case of these four individuals. the articles of agreement between the defendant and the prosecution. in July. stated. stipulated. that those witnesses were not presentially needed any longer. yet they were confined. and then in the name of saving the taxpayers money. they were at least under custody to a law enforcement agent with a gun on his side. and to allow him to go farm them out to specific ranchers.
